Abstract

The excellent leaving ability of the nosylate group and the high, differentiated functional group density in 2-((@-nitrophenyl) sulfonyl) oxy)-3-keto esters, 1, suggested that they might serve as versatile precursors for the synthesis of other 1, 2, 3-trifunctionalized compounds. Reaction of 2-(nosyloxy)-3-keto esters with triethylamine gives 1, 2, 3-tricarbonyl compounds in high yields. The tricarbonyl compound can be reacted, without isolation, with ...
